    Tub Cages?

    Alright, I've got everything all good to go. Thermostat, hideboxes, heatpad, water dish, bedding. But I STILL need to put holes in that damn tub. I don't have a soldering iron, but what I'm asking is, are there any other good ways of putting holes in the tub without breaking it?

    Drill and small mm bit. I use a small knife to cut off any extra plastic pieces. I put tons of holes in all over and there were no issues at all.

    5 bucks at radio shack you say? So you're saying if I took a 5 minute bike ride to radio shack they would 100% have them there? Can anyone else confirm this? If this is true, it made my day 10 times better!

    5min bike ride? Why not go and just check it out. 5min is nothing. Worst thing to happen is thy don't have it and you got 10min of exercise.

    They also have them at Lowes, WalMart, and some auto parts stores. Pretty much, most places that sell tools, or electrical repair supplies.
